Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 883 Soaring to the top

  Emperor Hongzhi read this periodical as an anecdote.

   Actually, I really feel that these people's brains are a bit strange.

  He smiled, continued to open the second book, and opened the first article.

   "..."

  The signature of the first article made Emperor Hongzhi feel familiar.

  Zhu Shou...

  Own son?

  Emperor Hongzhi remembered that Zhu Houzhao had named himself Zhu Shou.

  This first article is about universal gravitation.

  The reason why this article is placed at the top is because of its weight.

  Even the word “gravity” was written by Fang Jifan.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked down.

  He obviously doesn't know that this universal gravitation involves a lot of knowledge of mechanics.

  Because Zhu Houzhao didn't understand the format of the thesis, he just wrote it out of the blue.

   So much so that Fang Jifan and the review team had to sort out and summarize his manuscript.

  The discovery of universal gravitation started with gravity.

   When Zhu Shou was making the steam engine, he encountered a problem.

   That is, if you want the steam engine to be powerful, you have to make the steam boiler as big as possible, but then they found that the stronger the power, the bigger and heavier the boiler.

  Looking at the huge iron lump, Zhu Houzhao was stunned.

  So, he began to think, and finally found a problem, why, the heavier the thing, the stronger the force, as if in this world, in the dark, the ground under his feet seems to be pulling everything.

  Finally, when Zhu Houzhao made the steam engine, he used another thing, a magnet.

   Isn’t this magnet like the earth, able to attract many things to itself?

  Of course, a magnet can only attract iron, but the ground under your feet can attract all things and make all things adhere to it.

   What if, all these things are iron, and the ground under the feet is a huge magnet?

  Thinking in this way, a brain hole was born.

At the moment, the flying ball can break free from the shackles of this force. Obviously, this force is not endless. If at this moment, the earth is a magnet, as long as there is the same opposite force, greater than this force, it will Can break free from its shackles.

   Zhu Houzhao was the first to demonstrate gravity.

  Of course, his argument was rough, relying entirely on his own conjecture.

  But since it is assumed that there is gravity, then Zhu Houzhao began to have some inspiration, why the moon in the sky sets in the daytime and rises in the night, is it related to gravity?

  In order to prove this possibility, he used a high-powered magnifying glass to observe the moon when he had nothing to do. He actually found out whether there was a possibility that the moon was also bound by the ground under his feet and attracted by the ground...

His first solution was to take a flying ball, take a telescope, fly up to the sky, and observe the moon at night, but this observation revealed a terrible thing. When he began to observe seriously, he discovered , the earth is not flat, if it is flat, people are high in the sky, the telescope is supposed to be able to see within the visible range of the telescope, but in fact, it is like a ball, what he sees is not the end of his eyes , but the horizon.

  The earth is not flat, so the moon...

   This is out of control.

  Even if other people discover these things, they won't think about them.

  But Zhu Houzhao has no hobbies, he just likes to think about messy things, and he has no interest in those serious things.

  Thus, he concluded that the earth is most likely a flying ball, and the moon is most likely a small ball.

  The reason why this small ball rises and falls is because, after it falls, it just hits the back of the earth, the flying ball.

  The earth is round, and the small ball is also round. The small ball revolves around the big ball day and night without stopping. Then, why does this happen?

   It's simple, experiment.

  The test method he provided is very rough, and it is indeed very strenuous to demonstrate the universal gravitation under the condition of gravity. Of course, on the steam car, he also discovered that besides gravity, there is also friction.

  This grand theory on gravitation includes the theory of 'gravity', 'resistance', 'round earth', and so on.

  Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head, looking a little confused.

  The ground under your feet is a ball? Is there no Chang'e in the moon? But a small ball? Because there is a force, it moves around its feet at a constant speed?

   "Your Majesty." Xiao Jing changed a pair of hot tea for Emperor Hongzhi with a smile: "What is Your Majesty looking at?"

   Xiao Jing's hand is swollen.

  Not only do you have to serve His Majesty on duty, but you also have to copy files in your spare time.

   What a pain, His Majesty is the most familiar with my own handwriting. Others may still be in the wind, but I must not deceive you, because Your Majesty can tell it with just one glance.

  His eyes were red from the boil, and he looked pitiful.

  Emperor Hongzhi almost exploded when he heard it. Subconsciously, he closed the journal, and then put it aside: "Nothing."

   It feels like there is no silver three hundred taels here.

   After all, he is the emperor.

  The son is the prince.

  What is a prince? He is the crown prince of the country.

  This guy... A few days ago, he said he wanted to build a moving car.

   Now it’s all right, he went to think about the moon, what kind of magnets, what kind of circles, what kind of mess.

  Emperor Hongzhi was speechless.

  The face is slightly red.

  Speaking of it, it's quite embarrassing.

  Thinking about my grandson, at a young age, he can recite books and read poems, not to mention his filial piety.

  Why is this son... so unprofessional.

   Can this thing be eaten?

What is the use?

Hey…

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed inwardly.

   But now, he seems to have nothing to say.

It can only be said, let his temperament go, he can do whatever he likes, he is old, and he is not without merits, he still has many advantages, the only thing is that he loves to toss, sometimes Ah, I feel aggrieved just thinking about it.

  Xiao Jing stared straight at the journal, he knew His Majesty, why did His Majesty react so strongly today, is there something in this journal...

  Emperor Hongzhi caught the difference in Xiao Jing's eyes, and immediately turned cold: "Why, what are you looking at?"

   "Slaves..."

  Emperor Hongzhi sternly said, "Have you finished copying your dossier?"

   "No…no."

   "Go!"

   "Yes, yes." Xiao Jing deliberately shook his swollen hand at Emperor Hongzhi, but His Majesty was unmoved, so he had nothing to say, and left with his tail between his legs, never looking back.

  …

  In fact, the argument about gravity is very rough.

   It is conceivable that the most important thing is that the later demonstration needs to be perfected step by step, such as the great discovery of navigation, such as the application of mathematics.

  But Fang Jifan still decided to put Zhu Houzhao's article first. This is not because he has any ulterior relationship with Zhu Houzhao.

  The fact is that once this argument is put forward, everyone's thinking may be turned upside down, and even on this basis, many theories may be derived.

   Once the news came out, it immediately sparked a huge discussion.

   Some people question it, some people support it.

   But the controversy in the articles in this journal is by no means as simple as the great Confucianists arguing about the doctrine of classics and righteousness.

  To persuade someone, you have to argue that he is wrong or right.

  So, almost all the people who talk about the theory of the circle of the earth and the theory of gravity are trying their best to find better experimental methods.

  The most difficult thing is the craftsman who grinds the lenses.

Whether it is the theory of fine insects or the theory of gravity, the essence is observation, but how to observe, the human naked eye has great limitations, so we must use tools. Since the appearance of magnifying glasses and telescopes, everyone is observing When thinking about it, the first method that comes to mind is to find a mirror with a larger multiple. Only in this way can you prove your point of view most powerfully.

   In the second issue of the journal, there was an interesting thing.

Because the theory of fine worms is too appalling, in this issue, several articles about the theory of fine worms were included in the article, most of them quoted "Theory of fine worms", and then they discussed whether the fine worms were harmful or beneficial. In addition, an article about disinfection is also derived on the basis of the theory of fine worms.

Assuming that the worm is right, does it mean that many medical diseases are actually related to the worm? Therefore, the essence of alcohol is to kill harmful worms. In the courtyard, a boulder was thrown.

   The worm said, starting to become more and more important.

  Only a week later, another stack of bank notes was handed over to Zhang Sen.

  Zhang Sen looked confused.

  For the first issue of the magazine, he has already received more than two hundred taels of silver.

  But the second issue, what does it have to do with me?

Su Yue looked at Zhang Sen enviously: "The manuscript fee for the second issue has been sent out, because there are three medical articles that quoted your article, so you also have a share of these manuscript fees, I'm really envious. You worm theory has the most citations, and now this worm theory, even the old man wants to get a glimpse of it on the basis of this."

  The manuscript fee Zhang Sen received was one hundred and fifty-six taels. After all, it was just a quotation, but it was also a terrible thing for him.

"Oh, by the way, you are already a doctor. This time, the number of citations is not small. According to the rules, this will greatly help your professional title. In the medical school, I want to set up a research institute for elaboration. Master wants you to be the leader, are you... interested?"

  Zhang Sen was dumbfounded.

  He couldn't imagine that he had become hot in the blink of an eye.

  Just ten days ago, he was a penniless and poor boy, and was even considered by many people to be eccentric and withdrawn, full of weird talks, but now...

  He's a bit out of his mind.

Now, he has earned three or four hundred taels of silver in just ten days, which is a huge sum of money for Zhang Sen, and in the future, the wealth may come in a steady stream. Now, he is the first student in the medical school. A Ph.D., even, will have to provoke the leader.

  …

  Thank you book friend 1602191802428 for rewarding 100,000 starting coins. There are no words to express my gratitude.
